newsyslogwithdate-extension-logfiles

[michael]

Hi,

i widely use FreeBSD and his enhancement's vs. other OS'es.

Now i have the wish that the 'newsyslog' uses date-extensions
in the 'rotated' logfiles.
eg:

messages.0.gz should be messages.20031206.gz and so on...

or any other extension that will give the date in the name of file?

is this possible with the newsyslog?
I think no! And why?

Can anybody help me?

Thanks for all

best regards

michael
